Oop should correct that - University of Law in Bloomsbury , not Stratford , though UEL does Law too .

I've been thinking about my uni search 70 and I feel a bit bad. I'm from South Wales and looked at unis far away from home. I settled on one around 90mins away as it did the course I wanted but it never even occurred to me stay at home. Not sure why, I just couldn't wait to get out on my own. Feels like madness when I look back - things would have been a lot easier if I'd stayed home and saved some money up while I studied rather than working 2 jobs to pay my bills 🙄

EmrysAtticus · 22/09/2019 15:10

I went for one 9 hours away crazy Grin

NoWordForFluffy · 22/09/2019 15:15

I went a couple of hours away. I didn't want to stay locally!

I also don't want anything else on tv.

The farm was awful thanks Grin but I did learn that witches in Viking times were called vulvas Grin

🤭 every day's a school day, Wreck.

The heavens opened here about 30 mins ago. The whole atmosphere changed, it was like everything started breathing again (sorry, bit poetical but not sure how else to explain) and now there is the rain smell 🌷 🌲

Managed to get a kindle fire for 34.99 (already on offer then with a 15.00 prime discount offer) worth checking your account's if your thinking of getting one.

Just catching up.

I love drag race. I went to see Bianca Del Rio last year. The "jokes" though were so offensive we actually walked out before the end.

It's a day for the ducks here. It hasn't stopped since last night. But we had a good result this morning in the rugby so all is good.

NoWordForFluffy · 22/09/2019 16:35

We had rain, sun, rain and now sun!

I'm so hungry. I scavenged 2 big strawberries and a few raspberries for lunch at the allotment, but didn't have anything else. I started digging the new plot. It's so bloody rooty. It'll take loads of digging.

We aren't really big TV watchers, in fairness. We have it on, but don't often pay huge amounts of attention to it!

Afternoon everyone Smile
I have had a night/day of it Hmm, Dh woke at 1.15 am with a bad attack of Atrial fibrillation. I got him his Flecanide but it took 7 hours for the drugs to work. We had a bad night . No sooner did it finish then l had to go to Mum's to sort her out . I left Dh here under the care of the 2 DD'S while l saw to Mum. They all watched the rugger together , l am so relieved to tell you he is fine now but it is so upsetting when it is happening Shock

Mrsmadevans · 22/09/2019 17:40

Now what have you all been getting up to Grin
Wreck! You learn something new every day Grin
Firefly torrential rain here too off and on Hmm

Nero the DDS love RuPAUL but l refer Miss Marple Grin
Fluffy l picked a load of blackberries for Mum's overnight oats Grin l ate a few too Grin.
We loved SCD it was brilliant Grin

CarysRed · 22/09/2019 18:06

70 how is she doing with her personal statement?. I remember everyone being so stressed at college when they had to write theirs.

Wreck You learn something new every day!😂

Neros I’d love to see them!. I’m excited for the English Ru Paul. I think i’ll be spending most of my maternity leave watching it.

Fluffy we just watch crap, I must admit. Usually on weekends when we can’t sleep we’ll find the rubbish shows on Netflix and get hooked.

Mrs I’m so sorry about your DH. I hope tonight is easier for you and you manage to get some rest.

It’s a good job I didn’t go out today, I’m in agony with cramps and back pain. There’s no way I would’ve made it in the car.

WreckTangled · 22/09/2019 19:17

Job application done. There's nothing more I could have done really.

NoWordForFluffy · 22/09/2019 20:56

Mrs, I'm glad your DH is OK now. Is medication the only way to control it, or is there a surgical option? Flowers

Good luck, Wreck.

Morning!

It's dark out there. And dry. For now!

It's also officially autumn today (though the weather has been ahead of that curve!). 🍂 🍁

OP posts:
WreckTangled · 23/09/2019 06:53

Bright and sunny here! Think the rain is coming in later.

Mrs sorry your dh had another AF attack. Is it usually for the meds to take so long to work?

NoWordForFluffy · 23/09/2019 07:20

Bright and sunny here too now it's light! It's meant to rain late afternoon / this evening though. Hopefully there's still time for our towels to dry!

Morning 🌞
Fluffy, DH always has to take the pill in the pocket Flecanide to stop the attacks. Bless him he is fine thank you for asking about him 🤗❤️
we had a good night thank you Firefly girl 😄
Wreck 😊 good luck m'dear
Beautiful here today Grin
Am glad because it's my little girl l nursed Funeral after seeing to Mum. Will tell you about it after. Her Mum has planned a celebration of her life , a Disney extravaganza she told me, bless her heart ❤️
Have a wonderful day everyone 😀

BiddyPop · 23/09/2019 08:24

Morning all.
On the train to work after surprisingly getting about 5 hours sleep (“d”H managed to wake me suddenly just after I’d hit deep sleep at 10, so I was awake until after 2 instead! 😡). But it is sunny - ahead of a week of rain here. So that’s cheering me up. And the fact that Alicante has a warm and sunny forecast (3 nights there later this week, for work - so any ideas for Christmas shopping in the couple of hours I have Saturday morning before the airport are welcome as I’ve never been there before).

Finally finished the form for internal job last night (sounds like procrastination but I had Cubs Saturday morning, a training course Saturday afternoon and all day yesterday and organizing the sailing training to be done too).

But as well as work things, I am bringing my cards and a X-st project on my trip. So things will make progress. Even if the HGp is completely set aside so far this year!

Mrsmadevans · 23/09/2019 08:36

Have a great trip Biddy . Alicante sounds super to me with the rain we have here. You are overloaded as usual but you always get things done 😁💐

NerosFiddle · 23/09/2019 11:06

Morning.

It's starting to get a bit sunny now. I hope that it stays like this for the rest of the day as I'm potty training again.

Mrs I hope that everything goes as well as it can today.

WreckTangled · 23/09/2019 11:11

Ooo we flew back from Alicante recently. They have quite a few shops in the city centre which is only a ten minute drive from the airport. Didn't go for shopping though I'm afraid, we did pop into Zara though because dd loves it. Prices on par with here though.
